Forum etiquette - double-posting vs separating ideas?

[Wilford111]

I use snip quotes if I have to. Since I'm on mobile, I can't edit my posts; snipping ensures I can get my opinion out without having to worry (much) about character limit.

This forum, on mobile predates most actual mobile usability changes. In fact, when I once visited the site on my mobile phone, I thought I was on the wrong site due to the lack of any customization of the mobile theme.

It's still rude to -snip- a quoted post, and if you can't trim it from a mobile device, copy the entire quoted section to the phone's text editor, write the post there, post "mobile10char." or something as a place holder, edit everything in the text editor, stick the bold tags around the segment you're replying to, and then copy that back from the text editor.

I disagree. If it's rude to snip a post then it is also rude to not click on the blue button that takes you back to the post in question.

That seems overly complicated for those of that use a mobile device, especially when the quote has a button following the OP's name that will take them to the original post. Sure someone could say I am being lazy, but if someone did say that I would say the same since clicking the blue button is just one step, while the method you mentioned has multiple steps.
